I really appreciate that BMI translation allows non-Russian speakers like myself to enjoy Garage 54. Originally, I felt like the translation left out the humor, but honestly you can read humor on the host. The translation in itself makes me laugh sometimes as they keep it fairly neutral even when things are ridiculous and over the top. Love it! Keep it up guys!
I used to work in a shipyard. One of my jobs was sandblasting. I loved that part of the job. Through my positive-pressure helmet I would watch the rust turn to clean gray steel in long, hypnotic sweeps cleaning gigantic plates. I couldn't hear anything and a tap on the shoulder told me when it was break or quitting time. I was always surprised! I had no sense of time passing. --as far as safety equipment: thick gloves, positive pressure helmet, tear off layers of plexiglass on the front of the helmet, heavy canvas clothing. This macho man? -a pair of knit gloves and a fold-down face shield. Hey, they're tough in Russia.
It is. Did sand blasting for a company few months and dangers of that thing come to clear real fast. If you have blasting hall with door open, you need full replacement air hood mask that covers your shoulders and feeds you clean air trough hose. You need very powerful lighting cause after 15minutes of blasting you wont see shit even in good sun light being outside. That stream of particles will eat trough metal easily, dent it if you keep it in place too long, go trough 2x4 in about 20 seconds and normal glove...well mind where your hands and feet are... Worst thing that happened to me, was after hour of blasting replacement air supply cut off for some reason and hose had tangled. Tried to untangle it for 30 seconds before air started to become full of dust, so one last inhale, looked to find those huge doors and sun light as exit.. could not see it, so took gamble and run out with out the hood.
Jesus, That's a SERIOUS piece of DIY kit. I've used low to mid range industrial sand blasters in the past and this thing was stripping heavy scale off at least as easily as some of the industrial kit I was let loose with, And the company I worked for had spent several thousand pounds to get those !!! The only problem he'll have is if he starts trying to strip paint off car body panels with it, The friction caused by all the little impacts can cause localised heating, and when you're getting up to this level of power that heat can be enough to warp the metal. When I first saw this happen I thought the force of the impacts from the media had left lines of dent in the car door I was blasting, But an older employee explained what was happening and demonstrated it by blasting a section of 3mm steel for a couple of minutes, Then telling me to touch it........ It wasn't warm, it was friggin' HOT !!!!!
The spark plug trick is pretty nifty. Frequently check your sand hose for thin spots. The sand / slag will wear the hose if you have a curve in it while using it. I know a guy that had the hose blow out where a thin spot had occurred and it blew the skin right off his arm where the sand hit it. He had to have muscle surgery and skin grafts. A good idea would be to wear a leather welding cape with the sleeves.
Vlad doing some of the dirty work this time. Nice one Vlad. 👍 Nice to see the boss doing some of the dirty work for a change. 😉 Love this channel fellas! I like every video but I really should comment more. Gotta help out the channels I love! Thanks fellas. From 🇨🇦 to 🇷🇺! 👍
If you love the channel so much you'd know that he was a one man show doing ALL the work for a long time, in a cramped dirty little shop. I mean its all on this very channel. Just go back and watch a video or two.
First and most importantly, Thank you so much for spending the time and money to do the voice over. It makes your content so much easier to follow and much more enjoyable.
In actual fact, it's called a Vice, a German invention about 100yrs old. If we put an 'S' in place of every word that contained a 'C', I'd hate to try & read your version of the word 'scissors'.
I use a sandblaster also. I built a 10' x 10' area with tarps that keep the blasting media contained within that area. I easily sweep it up and shovel it through a screen to reuse the media while removing the larger debris. Use a respirator because many blasting medias are very harmful to lungs.
And careful, with every reuse that material breaks down and the particles become smaller and smaller, even a good respirator won't keep that crap outta your Lungs. It also becomes less effective as the sand loses it's sharp edges, as I'm sure you know. I wouldn't do much of it without a full hood. A Blasting Cabinet for items like that little Vice would best but damn they ain't cheap. Cheers!!!
put it through 2 screens one to remove large debris and one to remove anything smaller than the normal media should be. It's the medium stuff you want to keep. a magnetic plate to remove the metal dust is useful too.
Dry air is the key to sandblasting. It takes surprisingly little moisture to interfer with the sand feed. One drop will stick a 2 cm ball of sand together. If the blast hose twitches as you work, you're getting sand in clumps. You're in a cold moist climate. You need more than a water separator. I suggest a refrigerated air dryer or a dessicant dryer. If that's not possible, rig up an air heater. 50 - 60⁰ C air to the sand pot will dry the sand and keep it loose all the way to the nozzle.
I like your sandblast build. Excellent camera work,especially the hose shots. The machine stream eats the oxides and goes right to bare metal. Very ingenious use of an old oxygen cylinder. You are a resourceful fabricator. Success!
I thought it was an old acetylene cylinder. They did fill it with water to do their work because of the former contents. I don't believe that would be necessary if it had previously held oxygen.
After 20 years touring auto repair shops and factories from Frankfort to Moscow to Kazakhstan (and running a Jeep business there), the make it yourself attitude was everywhere. In the US workshop we toss and replace with a short wait for Amazon or NAPA to deliver our parts or equipment. But in Kazakhstan or Siberia you’d better have mechanics who make it or repair it. In every shop I‘D see a 30 year old Lada in a back corner, stripped down to the frame and being rebuilt. It was a necessity since car loans were rare, mostly paid for with cash, and an old rebuilt Lada was affordable, simple to repair, and better than the bus. Loved this video, nice touch to paint it in the end. Didn’t see that finishing touch much in the 2000-2010 days.
"We'll get a better understanding as we keep going ..... oh well, why wait?" "We often connect things up this exact way and things usually work out okay" You have to love the Russian approach to engineering :-)
I have an old ATV fuel tank that could use a treatment like that. I thought building a contraption like that would be much more difficult. I'm gonna try that.
Chillin in Russia... Definition of understatement. Seriously though excellent vid. The only additions would be a collector and filter for the sand as it will save of the refills and disposal.Tthe collector/filter can be set up with well thought out DIY. Add to that a cabinet for all the set up.
there was a case report a few years ago about a guy who was turning an old drum into a bbq. he filled it full of water before cutting into it and it still blew up.
the gloves you need are rubber and very thick. when sandblasting a wheel or something thin you must not spend too much time in one area because like welding, the heat can build and make the part warp.
I was recently restoring my aluminium wheels that had some corrosion on them. I used steel brush and it took me so long and I don't think I removed it all. Sand blasting is a way to go.
I am a computer programmer and there is absolutely NO reason I needed to watch this video! True, some days I would like to take a Oxy torch to my computer when it is not behaving.... But I could not stop -- really good job making a interesting video.
No, respirator or ear protection, at least he put a face shield and gloves to keep his hands warm, but I am impressed with the ingenuity, Bravo!, spasiba!!
actually we thought of doing that for a big sandblaster you need large quantity of pressured gas, the lada can only. produce 5 bar but at 4000RPM it exhausts more than 3000 liter per minute
Ya know, when you explain how your videos are done out loud it sounds like a terrible idea "I'm going to have a Russian video playing in the background with me translating over it" but damn the way you do it makes it so nice to watch so thank you because I really enjoy these guys and you do the videos/editing the translation in such a good way.
In Afghanistan, sometimes when we needed something like this, we had to make it for ourselves. We might order one, and it might - maybe - get there sometime in the next six months. I made a sandblaster out of an old pressure-washer valve and some hydraulic fittings, (to pick up the sand,) and used sand from the volleyball pit. It fed from a water bottle. Worked great!
@@AmstradExin Not exactly, i have my blow gun from AliExpress for over a year and it still works regardless it was often abused, like working with 10bar pressure while it's rated for 6 bar max
For the poor? Did you not see what tools are required to fab this pressure blaster? You need a welder, C25 gas for the welder, filler wire, welding helmet, grinder, cut off wheels, drill bits, drill, etc. To top it all off... you need a decent air compressor to run a pressure blaster this big. Dumbass...
The good thing about RU-vid is it cuts through the bull shit propaganda on mainstream media about cultural differences, you are exactly like us in the West & just as crazy, keep up these brilliant videos 👍👍👍
The sand blaster is good. But for the amount of work that went into it it does not perform as good as my $9.99 LIDL sand blaster but It may be due to chilled slag media used in video vs allox media
You definitely need a respirator. Inhaled dust like that can cause mesothelioma. I like your idea of using an old gas cylinder. I might look for one to turn into an air tank for my bus.
I'm building a wet blaster to avoid condensation blockages. Love spark plug idea! White Vinegar is a great rust remover. Phosphoric acid for rust conversion is available from rural stock suppliers and used in dairy industry. Can nickel plate yourself with car battery!
Part way through i was beginning to think this was an episode of the A Team, lol, lol, lol. Loving that lime green Lada estate in the background. That looks like it could be a serious 'sleeper'.
In life there are 4 levels of difficulty. 1 Easy. 2 Medium. 3 Hard. 4 Russian. Makes me want to pull out my old sand blaster and clean stuff. Important to keep the water out of the air. Fit a water separator to your compressor line. Regards from South Africa.
Good job, very ingenious. I wonder if you used a little larger hoses and maybe a regular sandblast nozzle if it would put out more pressure ? Thanks, John, Indiana
Very very kool😎👍Loved your build!!! Your video convinced me to build one for myself, Thanks.......I Only have a couple questions,HOW LONG IS THE WORKING TIME on a full tank of air, and how long does it take to refill the tank once emptied? Thanks again for the great engineering.
Airborne particulates from sandblasting is really hazardous to breathe, risk of silicosis, not to mention the rust particles. I recommend particulate filter respirator like N95 or P3 and protective glasses together with a face shield. Good DIY project!
